  Is there no noise bylaw at all here? It is the long weekend Labour Day and today is Sunday -at 5:30 AM the noise started with loud beeper then the sound of scraping, smell of fresh pavement being laid. For the past 2 years I have put up with construction noise here by the corner of Burrard and Drake but this is too much going on - I thought at least I could sleep until 8:00 AM with no noise. Your City Hall is closed all weekend - thus no one to call about this going on.

  I have been helping my parents get a very simple permit over the last month and so far, I call every morning to follow up with the City Hall (at their request), and they keep on passing me around, lost my drawing, and claimed an inspection that I paid for twice never happened, and is asking me to pay again.... WOW.

  and this is on top of the 6 more week my parents have spent dealing with them. And now the city people tell me I was correct in my first meeting with them... of course they told me off the first, I don't know ... 30 days or so???? and they told me just this morning I should have hired a consultant before I started. We did ask around, they cost $12000. So apparently that's the entrance fee to work with the City of Vancouver. I recommend having a city hall wide work competency review.... and I expect to spend another 3 months dealing with the City Hall...

  got a parking ticket parked in front of my house of almost 40 years even though i had a valid permit. the reason being i renewed my car insurance with new plates which requires cancelling existing permit and applying for a new one which i was quite aware of. the only problem was..it happened during the x mas/new year holiday and city hall was CLOSED so there was no way for me to do so. most unreasonable.

  Mayor of Vancouver should build more bike lanes and jus ditch all the streets in downtown. Wake up fool this ain't Amsterdam where they have it done right. You favor all these bike lanes but yet people don't bike properly. Should make them all get a bicycle license. Also when winter comes stop using sand and salt mix. No point if the city ain't gonna clean it up, u leave sand all over the city and when I call to have my alley cleaned up city said no. What the hell am I paying property tax for? More bike lanes?

  And like many others have said here, there are not enough bike lanes in the city.

  City staff seem genuinely upset when residents request service. The Planning and Development department were consistently awful. Example? I did a minor reno in my basement. Over the course of three months I had four different building inspectors come due to high staff turn over. Each of them told me something different and none of them repeated the directions used by any of the other three. Also, openly hostile staff when asked to explain rules and requirements. They treat residents like we're criminals trying to get away with a crime.
